Now I’m totally craving this grilled cheese breakfast sandwich again, and I think I might have to make it for dinner tonight!
When I originally had the idea to make this sandwich my plan was to use panko breadcrumbs as the bread coating for some added crunch. However, upon assembling my ingredients, I realized that I didn’t have the panko in the cabinet as I normally do.
It was a sad moment for me because I thought the recipe idea would have to be put on hold. Luckily, that wasn’t the case and that’s when improvisation and creativity kicked in.
Since I happened to have a box of cornflake crumbs in the cabinet that I use for making my Ham and Cheese Breakfast Strata, the light bulb in my head immediately went off, and the results were better than I could have expected!
Take THAT panko! 😉

Now I’m hungry and want some eggs. LOL!
Eggs are a fantastic choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! They’re a great source of protein, and they’re incredibly versatile. Just don’t forget to season them with salt and pepper. A little goes a long way when it comes to seasoning an egg, but it’s a step you don’t want to leave out.
